  • Patent number: 11976279
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the use of miRNA-483 and its target genes, UBE2C, pVHL and HIF1alpha, in managing the treatment of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a miR-483 mimic and/or an HIF inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient for use in treating or preventing a vascular disease or condition. In certain embodiments, the miR-483 mimic is a double stranded nucleobase polymer or an expression vector that expresses mature human miR-483-5p and miR-483-3p sequences or operable fragments and variants.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20060276385
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for reducing or inhibiting vascular inflammation, for example inflammation resulting from unstable blood flow conditions such as oscillatory shear. Representative compositions include an antagonist of BMPs, for example BMP4, or BMP receptors, for example BMPR-I and/or BMPR-II, in an amount sufficient to for inhibiting or reducing vascular inflammation by interfering with binding of bone morphogenic protein or a fragment thereof to bone morphogenic protein receptors. Exemplary BMP antagonists include polypeptides having an eight-, nine-, or ten-membered ring cystine knot structure. Representative BMP antagonists include, but are not limited to the CAN family of proteins, the chordin family that includes chordin and ventroptin, and noggin.
